Sorry for taking a few days to respond, guys. Didn't want to bump my thread without an update, hahah.
Thanks,
@cidwel. Glad my game has motivated you a little. There needs to be more games like SoM, so I'll look forward to seeing yours, too! ^ ^
@Morumotto, thanks! Hope you like the new update today, too. =D
@seanm, thank you too. I'm trying, hahah. X'D
Anyways! Time for a big update! A few new areas, a new monster, and my first publicly shown piece of music! Hope you guys like this new stuff! =D
First off, we have a new area,
The Forest of Rot. A noxious fog rolls through the whole area, weakening the player character, and slowing movement speed. Far off, you hear the unsettling howls of strange creatures. A trail of blood leads into the forest, toward the source of the unnatural animal calls:
Spooky, spooky. =D
Listen to the area's new song to complete the effect. Listen to it at half volume, because it's
loud because I
don't know what I'm doing and exported at twice the volume I meant to:

Next up, we have a new enemy. A powerful lich in simple, tattered robes, hovering above the ground, and wielding a mighty
scythe which he spins and throws with ease
. Because he is a
wizard, and also a
skeleton. (He's a natural!) He has some strong magic spells, too, so look out! He prowls the basement of old, derelict castles:
Also spooky.
Bonus "holy ****, he's angry or something!" animation, lol. Just experimenting with this one, don't have any plans on using it in game right now, but I might make use of something like it.
And lastly, something a bit more colorful and happy. Experimenting with a cleaner, bolder style for this area:
Ruined gardens in the sky! Something a little more exotic than most of the stuff I've shown so far, I think. I have a lot of weird areas planned for later on, too...
Also, I animated the trees for the rain scene. I think it really adds to the scene! Maybe I'll take the time to screen capture it if anyone is interested, but it's a small change, so I dunno.
So, yeah! Hope you guys like the new stuff! Thanks again for your support, everyone! =D
